JD300 - Jewellery Illustration, Light and Colour

Accurate drawings are often not enough to convey the beauty and mystique of a design to a customer or client. Learn professional shading techniques to create depth in monochromatic designs, and full-colour rendering methods to produce spectacular, life-like illustrations. Using wax-based coloured pencils and pigment inks instead of traditional paint see how to supercharge your rendering efficiency in vibrant and lasting colours. Gain the confidence to guide and design to customer specifications while they watch your ideas come to life.

Course outline

Throughout this course, theory and practical skills will be performed so as to master the 3D effect enhancing designs to a professional level in both monochromatic shading and full colour. Understanding of the right light source is required an importance to realise the heights and dimensions in each jewellery piece. Every possible surface type is covered from opaque metals and gems to transparent and translucent faceted and cab gemstones. Colour theory helps not only to combine colours in a pleasing and aesthetic way but is useful to successfully recommend a suited match with occasion or to best enhance individual customers appearance.
